When I was about 12 years old, I read in Parade Magazine about gold loot from a stagecoach robbery in Idaho. The loot was supposedly hidden in the Cassia City of Rocks. I wrote to the author of the article and he sent me some additional information which I really thought was cool.
That summer, we took our bi-annual driving trip to Idaho to visit grandparents and my aunt & uncle. I tried to convince Dad that we should detour through the City of Rocks on our way, but to my everlasting dismay, he declined.
I could have been rich!
Let’s go! I have metal detectors!
